Verify Group Who Owns The OpenShift Open vSwitch Files
An XCCDF Rule
Description
To properly set the group owner of /etc/openvswitch/.*, run the command:
$ sudo chgrp root /etc/openvswitch/.*
Rationale
CNI (Container Network Interface) files consist of a specification and libraries for writing plugins to configure network interfaces in Linux containers, along with a number of supported plugins. Allowing writeable access to the files could allow an attacker to modify the networking configuration potentially adding a rogue network connection.
